Why stay in Kensington:

To step into the Royal Borough of Kensington is to walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens, writers and revolutionaries, politicians and painters, thinkers and thespians.
This premier residential district was once a country village favoured by the wealthy. It retains its exclusivity and is home to a Royal palace and London's foremost museums.

Kensington is within the area of Holland Park Avenue, Earls Court, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace. There are numerous places to visit such as The Natural History Museum, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Place, Victoria & Albert Museum, Science Museum and Linley Sambourne House (Punch Illustrator) which will give you the perfect view of a Victorian house.

Another place to visit is the Kensington Roof Gardens which is a must see, the grade II listed art deco building with a roof garden which covers 1.5 acres. The gardens are split into three with English, Formal Spanish and Tudor styles and this is a perfect place to relax and get away from the bustling streets of London.

Famous department stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols are close by in Knightsbridge which are a short walk from Knightsbridge tube station. If you still want to shop The Kings Road and High Street Kensington are also located in this part of London and have all the high street stores you could wish for.

There are numerous tube stations throughout Kensington which can take you to any part of London:- West Brompton – District Line, Notting Hill Gate – Central Line & District and Circle Line, Holland Park – Central Line, High Street Kensington – District and Circle Line, Earls Court – District Line, South Kensington – Piccadilly, District and Circle Line.

The flat was lovely - comfortable, clean, stylish, very well equipped and extremely well located. Having your taxi driver meet me at the airport and take me to the flat and explain everything about the facilities in the flat and the surrounding area was great.

by Liz

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Queensgate apartment and would stay again.

After a trans-Atlantic flight, being met at the airport, knowing a well-appointed flat is ready and waiting for us, is a fabulous way to start any visit to London. Cheers!

This is the second time we have rented that same flat. It is well appointed, very nice and comfortable and it is located in a great area.

As always, the service from Home from Home was impeccable and professional. The apartment was very well- appointed and in good condition, apart from being in a great location. Only one criticism, which is not the fault of the owner or Home from Home- the heating which is centrally controlled through the whole apartment block, was insufferably hot when automatically switched on and needed to be turned down at least three to five degrees. Otherwise no issues.

We really liked the apartment, hence the fact this is the second year in a row we have stayed there. Home from Home once again provided a well-appointed and immaculately kept property which we hope to rent in future years to come. Thank you for your excellent service.

Everything was great, thank you. The property is in a good location, and it served our purposes very well. The living amenities were just right for us. We would stay there again if we were to visit London again.

Queen's Gate is lovely, comfortable and in a great location. We would return and we'll highly recommend this property to others.

The flat was great. Well-appointed and very comfortable. The washer-dryer combination was not as useful as I would have hoped (dryer takes a long time), but that is a small issue in an otherwise wonderful experience.

by Janine United States

There was only one problem and that was there was no hot water on the first day in the building block when we arrived. I rang Danielle and she assisted us straight away by calling both the owner and the building manager and calling us back to let us know what the situation was. She was at all times courteous and very efficient. She did say it couldn't be fixed until the next day when a plumber could come back to the property but fortunately for us the plumber had been there that day fixing a problem and it was just that it hadn't had time to reheat. The flat itself was brilliant. Very good location, very clean and well laid out. We would be very happy to re-book this flat again when next we are in London.
